"Typically, only large corporations and startups with millions in venture capital behind them can afford high-quality, original mobile apps," Eisenwasser says. "We have cut the cost by up to 80 percent and without any sacrifice to quality."

He says customers have been so surprised by the service's affordability, they assume AppBoss must be providing a cookie-cutter solution like competitors with comparable rates. But co-founder Tom Cheddadi said that is not the case. "Whatever educators and business owners can imagine, we can provide to them in a powerful custom app," he said.

"We are not simply displaying mobile-optimized websites - these are dynamic, edicated apps. They can do anything your desktop elearning course can do. Building a true native app would normally cost at least $50,000 just to start. More often we hear that our competitors charge in the hundreds of thousands."

AppBoss development starts at $10,000.

"The product we are delivering is comparable to anything the biggest corporations have, for a fraction of the cost," Cheddadi said.

Presently, AppBoss is the only company using Facebook's React Native framework to create apps with WordPress integration. React Native powers many of the most well-known apps used on mobile phones every day, like Instagram, Pinterest and Skype.
